About Clean50

The Canada’s Clean50 Awards program and Summit were founded in 2011 by Delta Management Group in June 2011 and have been awarded in September each year since.  Selection is made primarily by Delta Management, but with significant assistance from a team of exceptional third party advisors, and is based on detailed submissions by nominees who wish to be considered, based on their impacts as measurable in Canada.

Delta’s commitment to sustainability is three tiered: carbon neutral, helping clients build outstanding teams that can move the needle, including greatly reduced fees for ENGOs, as well as ongoing support and stewardship of the Clean50 Awards.

Delta created and now stewards the Clean50 Awards program, to bring together senior executives, solutions-oriented leaders and sustainability practitioners from across a broad spectrum of interests and abilities and expertise, to build trust between them and foster enhanced collaboration – and share the inspiration these special people can offer all of us.
